Tracy Muse accused of choking, handcuffing woman to steering wheel

LINCOLN COUNTY, Mo. (KSDK) - A Foley, Mo. man has been charged after a woman was found handcuffed to a steering wheel Friday.

Deputies were called to the 100 block of Wild Horse Drive in Foley to find the woman handcuffed to a steering wheel. She told authorities she had been arguing with 32-year-old Tracy Lynn Muse while they were driving, and he threw her cell phone out the window.

She said Muse grabbed her by the throat and slammed her head into the vehicle's console while she was still driving. She said once they arrived at the home, Muse continued to assault her and handcuffed her to the steering wheel, removed the starter fuse from the vehicle to prevent her from leaving, and then took the keys.

Police say a concerned citizen called 911.

Muse drove from the home in a separate vehicle. He was arrested in Troy and charged with felony domestic assault and false imprisonment. He is currently held at the Lincoln County Jail on a $25,000 cash-only bond.
